September Christmas item
Oh dear, I am three days late with my Christmas item but I decided to finish my snowman ornament anyway. It is from a paper foundation pattern by Mary Herschleb designs and includes the four ornaments I made. I had great intentions at the beginning of the year to make larger Christmas items like table runners and a tree skirt but so far have only managed little ornaments each month. I guess there is always next year! Thanks again to Narelle for her encouragement each month. As well as making a snowman this week, I have also been working on my niece's cot quilt, just one more border to go. It has been challenging for me trying to choose a modern palette but hopefully I have succeeded. I couldn't resist buying some gerberas this week, the colours are amazing. Paul has almost finished repainting our lounge the same soft grey we used in our bedroom here, we loved it so much and it really makes the gerberas pop! Wendy xx

ReplyDeleteI think you'll be really happy that you've made lots of ornaments when you decorate your Christmas tree each year! I'm the same as you - had thought I might make larger projects, but stuck to mostly small ones. I discovered I enjoy making the little things the most!
